I grabbed this on a whim at CVS while buying snacks. Zero expectations.
Turns out Wet n Wild made a color corrector that blends into skin instead of sitting on top like a weird pastel mask. The green shade actually disappears into redness instead of turning into a swampy mess.
Six cream correctors in a clear compact. $7.99. I bought it because the packaging looked oddly expensive — clear glass lid, sleek, not the usual crinkly plastic.
The Peach
Cancels dark circles on fair-to-medium skin in one swipe. No cake.
The Green
Thin enough to pat under foundation without turning your face into Shrek.
The Lavender
Actually brightens sallow skin instead of just adding a purple sheen.

It’s drugstore — don’t expect a skincare routine in a palette. But the formula is surprisingly creamy because of two things: dimethicone for slip and glycerin to stop it from drying into your fine lines. The real win? No fragrance. None. My eyes didn’t water.
- Dimethicone: Makes it glide, not drag
- Glycerin: Keeps it from cracking by lunch
- Tocopherol: Fancy name for vitamin E — calming, not just filler
- Silica: Blurs pores slightly so you don’t need a ton of concealer on top

First touch: bouncy, almost like a firm mousse. Warms up fast on your finger. I tapped the peach under my eyes and it melted in about 8 seconds — no tugging, no weird residue.
Two weeks in: the green shade started looking a tiny bit dry on my cheeks by hour six. But the peach and yellow? Still going strong. Weirdest part — the palette survived being dropped in my bathroom sink. Glass lid intact. Lucky or tough?

My dark circles went from “did you get sleep?” to “yeah, I’m fine” in 30 seconds. Redness around my nose? Gone. The lavender did nothing for my olive undertones — but on my friend with yellow undertones? Chef’s kiss.

It’s not perfect — the green fades, and deep skin tones should skip — but for $8, this palette outperforms every single-stick corrector I’ve tried from Sephora. Keep it in your gym bag.
